Yi Long is actually not a Shaolin Monk as they went out of their way to say he wasn't. A spokesman of the Shaolin Temple did a press release pretty much saying he was full of it. That being said I am pretty sure he has been trained in Kungfu, just not by them.

[@yspegel]

Now the question is, would they admit if he was? While it's far more beneficial to them to keep the mystery factor up.

[@Guilherme5988]

@@yspegel his techniques does not look like Shaolin kung fu. Actually, his techniques doesnt look like kung fu at all. His posture is almost the same as the muay tai fighters. The other kung fu guy technique was much more like kung fu.

[@DanMoridin]

@@yspegel That is a good point considering they are only supposed to use their skills to "Defend the weak" and expeditions wouldn't apply to that. Could see them maybe saying it to save face.

Check out ranton he is a shaolin monk youtuber who said Yi long went to a Chinese kung fu school not the shaolin warrior monks.

[@WangHuLee]

Kungfu i have been trained is about sense, speed and power and changing of movement and techniques, however i could not see any of these key philosophical principals in Yi Long.

No fighting style is superior, it's the fighter who uses it and how good he "reads" his opponent.

[@user-pp3qp6wz1b]

You are right bro

[@Travis_Stewart5422]

I understand what you're trying to say and half of it is right. But to say one style is not Superior to another would be misleading. The reason there are so many different fighting styles nowadays is because a lot of them are created in order to counter another known type thought to be superior. For example Judo used to be known as one of the greatest martial arts for the longest time, and then in Korea they created hapkido, which is literally a style for defending against Judo.

[@HarmonRAB-hp4nk]

hye never claimed he was... LOL everyone else asumed simply by his choice of attire...

[@TearThatRedFlagDown]

No elbows and no clinching = no Muay Thai. Seen many gyms who claim to be Muay Thai gyms, but don't practice any elbowing or clinching at which point it's just another half-assed kickboxing gym, just like that match against Buakaw was not a Muay Thai match.

[@SupernovaeBlast]

bro shinned yi long and knocked him out tf u mean this isnt muay thai

[@TearThatRedFlagDown]

@@SupernovaeBlast I guess you don't understand then that elbow strikes and clinching are literally part of what defines Muay Thai as a martial art, and they weren't allowed in these matches which basically just makes this kick boxing.

[@SupernovaeBlast]

@@TearThatRedFlagDown bro tf if he elbowed then the tendency of the opponent is do bring him down or kick him

[@TearThatRedFlagDown]

@@SupernovaeBlast 1: Absolutely wrong, you've definitely never been in a fight before nor trained in Muay Thai. If someone is in range to throw elbows you don't have space to kick and about "bring him down" wtf do you think clinching even is? 2: Not the point, the point is that two key features that define Muay Thai as a martial art were banned from being used in these matches, therefore it's not Muay Thai. If kicks weren't allowed in a match then you wouldn't call that a kickboxing match either, would you?

[@SlinkerX]

@williel1573 Backatcha. Sanda may technically be kung fu, if you insist on broadening the definition to include anything from China, but it's not Shaolin, instead is closer to real combat sports such as Muay Thai. When the Shaolin Temple itself has issued a public statement disavowing this man, and you're still defending him, it isn't me who knows nothing of Chinese martial arts. Your man, Bruce Lee, agreed that the traditional Eastern arts were useless without a new philosophy to guide them. The Ultimate Fighting Competition (UFC) has been going for decades. If you have people who can win, bring them. Talk is cheap. 🤷‍♂️

[@hellzonefirebrigade3056]

@vikaskyatannawar8417 not entirely. It IS indeed mainly centered around entertainment, HOWEVER, that doesn't change the fact that there are techniques taught in Mauy Thai as well that aren't allowed in the fights because of how dangerous they are. While Muay Thai may not have as many rules as UFC, the rules do still exist and prohibit the more dangerous techniques. Just because you don't see them doesn't mean that those fighters aren't practicing them.

[@purplepunk1977]

As a kung fu loser myself I don’t want to admit to anything but Muay Thai has elbows and whatnot too along with other illegal moves so the argument is a bit moot there…. Although kung-fu has a lot of lower body blows and techniques that are restricted by gloves.. so does every other full contact martial art… so.. the difference is that kung fu is not tuned to sport specifically… except for Sanda which is… so.. a loss is a loss accept it and get better

[@nonon0n0o]

They want it to be Muay Thai vs Fung fu, but they never allow Muay Thai to use elbows or clinchings.. Been that way since forever, and not just China/Kung-Fu who did that with Muay Thai.. just to proof a point

Seems to me that the one thing Shaolin monks have on their side is superior conditioning and stamina. The technique may look exotic, but we all know that most real fights are nothing more than some combination of boxing and wrestling. So, yes, my respect goes to the Shaolin monks, but not for the reasons most people would think…

[@TonyTonearm]

I would say that a UFC style format would give us a much better look at which is more effective. While kickboxing rules take away clinches and elbows, it is a much closer format to Thai fighting than Kung Fu.

[@EthyEth]

The problem with these types of bouts is they're relying too heavily on their "style" instead of their bread and butter, which is instinct and aggression. Heavy hitters win because they Don't* allow their opponents time to think, let alone defend. fighting reactive is a recipe for a loss. Get in there, control the tempo and don't give them time to set something up.

[@RasikRajguru]

Like most things Chinese they cannot admit defeat for fear of losing face. Even if they lost. In the Buakaw fight No third fight to settle once and for all. Why? Chinese are scared their best will get knocked out by Muay Thai. When they will be forced to admit defeat. The fight experts and fans worldwide know the real score as 2 - 0 to Muay Thai according to the fight video. Except for the biased Chinese judges. It seems the only defeat that China will accept is if their fighter loses by knockout. It would be good for the Mix fight organizers to take note. To not allow judges to judge a fight against their own nationals or origin. So there can be no bias by any nation. This would go a long way in improving the integrity, honor and dignity of martial arts across the globe. Which is currently being spoiled a few bad apple nations.

[@MOEMOEKYUNBEAM]

Yeah that was absolute bullshit, they even made a rule to stop Buakaw from dropping elbows, the ref was 100% paid off and the entire event was a fraud. China may not be the best at martial arts but they do have a lot of money.

It sounds good to say that “the style doesn’t matter, it’s up to the individual“, as I used to say so myself when I was younger. But that isn’t true; styles do matter. A style born out of sparring and competition, proving itself in situations that mimic combat realistically are always going to be better than styles that are created in Mcdojos by people too lazy and afraid to get hit. KZbin is filled with “grandmasters” getting their asses kicked by low to medium level Kickboxers or MMA players. It is ridiculous to watch, these guys actually believed their own hype! You can see their shock the moment they get hit in the face. Most martial arts have been scams run on people to make money off people and to aggrandize the ego of the supposed masters.
